For residents of Hull and the surrounding East Yorkshire area, accessing an ADHD assessment through the NHS can mean waiting several years on the standard pathway, which is commissioned through NHS Humber and North Yorkshire ICB. This significant backlog has led many people to explore the Right to Choose route, which allows patients in England to request a referral to any qualified NHS-commissioned provider for their assessment, often with considerably shorter waits. NHS Humber and North Yorkshire ICB has not publicly announced any formal triage restrictions specifically blocking Right to Choose ADHD referrals, though individual GP practices may vary in their familiarity with the process, so it is worth approaching your appointment prepared. Before seeing your GP, Hull residents should confirm that their preferred Right to Choose provider is currently registered and actively accepting NHS-funded referrals, as provider lists can change. Arriving at your GP appointment with objective, documented evidence of your difficulties — such as a quantitative EEG brain screening report — can meaningfully strengthen your case and support a more informed clinical conversation about the most appropriate referral pathway.
